If you are running a 32-bit Windows, there are following upper limits: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#There-seems-to-be-a-limit-on-the-memory-it-uses_0021
starts by: memory.limit(size=1920) and try increasing value of size as a parameter for memory.limit(). I use Intel i5 Windows-7 64-bit 16GB RAM.

I'm currently using intel core i3, windows 7 Thanks for helping.

I managed to reach the matrix s whose rows represent all the possible combinations. Here is the code: > n=12 > m=7 > D<-matrix(0,nrow=n-m+1,ncol=m-1) > for (i in 1:m-1) + { + D[,i]<-seq(0,n-m,1) + } > ED <- do.call(`expand.grid`,as.data.frame(D)) > ED<-as.matrix(ED) > lk<-which(rowSums(ED)<=(n-m)) > s<-ED[lk,] The problem now is that the code works only for relatively small values of n and m, but when I use, for ex., n=20 and m=9, I got this error > n=20 > m=9 > D<-matrix(0,nrow=n-m+1,ncol=m-1) > for (i in 1:m-1) + { + D[,i]<-seq(0,n-m,1) + } > ED <- do.call(`expand.grid`,as.data.frame(D)) Error: cannot allocate vector of size 1.6 Gb Any Suggestions please? Thanks Again.
